Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place is very quaint, but sometimes it seems a little bit worn. The bed was a little old. The air conditioner unit was also old (and noisy; I had to turn it off). However, I slept fine, and the staff was really very pleasant. I love the area as well. This is the third time I’ve stayed there, and my impression is fairly consistent about it.

Liked the automatic front doors and how close it was to campus. Room had a tiny sink, no fan in bathroom, bathtub/shower had no slip pads - felt unsafe, no microwave. Bar drinks were overpriced koolaid. Coffee at cafe was good.
